Chapter 159 Chapter 77 Dance of the Phoenix (Part 2)
“But, you won’t have a chance to escape! Miss Phoenix, rest assured and become our advancement material!”
The Blood Sword Swordsman’s heavy sword light, like a bloody lightning bolt, screamed in terror. The blood light wildly dancing between the two narrow swords easily pierced the riddled flames, like sharp blades, scraping against the girl’s exquisite jade-like face, which was like a work of art.
“Slash.”
A strand of dark red blood light was flicked out, drawing a narrow wound on the girl’s wrist where she held the sword hilt. The sharp sword qi rebounded and hit the bracelet on her wrist, a bright red crystal flashing, as if a small crack had appeared.
“Mmm…”
Verafia seemed to frown with pain, and her jade-like, fair white wrist quickly seeped out bright red, yet seemingly golden-flashing, blood, which slowly flowed down her delicate, jade-like, fair white skin.
Just then, a clear, yet oppressive roar suddenly came from the sky. An ice-blue dragon flapped its wings in the sky. Over the city shrouded in flames and blood, the smooth, silk-like moonlight refracted between her crystal-clear, beautiful dragon scales.
“This is… a dragon?”
The Blood Sword Swordsman’s wrist couldn’t help but pause, and he exclaimed. This was the first time he had seen such a noble and majestic creature with his own eyes.
Verafia’s eyes suddenly brightened, and taking advantage of this fleeting moment, she forcefully shook the long sword blocking in front of her. The erupting power, while impacting the opponent’s long sword, also hit the girl’s delicate body.
Verafia grunted, and her delicate body under her skirt was directly sent flying from the air like a cannonball.
The Blood Sword Swordsman also recovered his senses in an instant. He roared again, and the sword light he pulled out was far faster than the girl’s speed, slashing out like a lightning bolt.
“Flaming Phoenix, you’re not escaping!”
The crimson blood slash’s light was faster than his voice, almost instantly sticking to Verafia’s face, and before she could land and gain support for a counterattack, it could completely cut the girl’s delicate body in half!
Verafia’s body had just passed Ig, whom she had thrown behind her earlier, and the boy’s terrified expression was just beginning to form.
“Ig, it’s all your fault anyway!”
The girl’s small face suddenly bore a mischievous smile. She grabbed him with her fair white little hand and then threw him towards the oncoming sword qi.
“Young Lady!”
Ig’s hair stood on end, and his terrified voice was immediately shattered by the strong wind and sword qi. The bloody sword light slashed at him, and suddenly, an extremely dazzling pure white holy light erupted from Ig’s embrace!
“Cough, cough, it hurts… But, this Avic’s power really isn’t simple, hmm… this person, even placed among the Pope’s Papal Guards in those years, would surely be outstanding!”
At the moment of impact, Verafia’s delicate body fell to the ground, causing the girl to groan. She raised her face, her scorching golden pupils reflecting the soft yet bright holy light. On her fair white wrist, bright red blood was still slowly flowing, faintly outlining a mysterious pattern.
The air was filled with pure light elements, submerging Ig’s figure. While illuminating the night, it also instantly burned the bloody light into ashes!
The Blood Sword Swordsman’s expression froze, and surprise appeared in his eyes. He felt the extremely bright holy white light erupting from Ig’s body, instantly evaporating the sword qi he had slashed, and could not help but shout.
“This is!”
“The Holy Light Power of the Sacred Light Church! Such a degree… it is most likely from Avic, the Temple Knight, whom the leader has mentioned more than once!”
Kain, the following Blood Archer, judged.
“Although the quality of his power surpasses ours, the stored power is ultimately limited! Kain, let’s go together!”
The Blood Sword Swordsman roared, his body’s blood light Dou Qi surging, crushing the oncoming light. He suddenly pulled out his blood sword, which was once again covered with vast blood qi.
“Light Breaking Arrow!”
“Blood Moon Slash!”
Two extremely powerful force fluctuations shattered the night sky illuminated by the light, and rolling blood qi filled the surroundings, then bombarded the light barrier in the mid-air.
Ig wanted to grab the End in his hand, but under the force of two levels far exceeding his, he was unable to move. He could only watch as the light barrier blocking in front of him was constantly impacted by the bloody power, cracking open.
“Bang!”
With a crisp sound, the sharp, sword-like blood light finally cut through the light barrier and penetrated. Ig’s protective amulet also shattered at this moment, turning into light dust.
“Is it over… But Miss Verafia, is this little bit of time enough?”
This thought flashed through Ig’s mind. Even without looking, Ig could clearly feel the increasing blood qi crushing the light and approaching him.
With Ig’s mere bronze-level small physique, even the slightest, almost negligible wisp of it could easily turn his entire flesh and blood into blood!
However, what Ig was thinking of first was not blaming Verafia for throwing him out as a shield. He vaguely sensed that the girl needed this time to delay.
Suddenly, a clear and beautiful ringing sound echoed in the night sky.
Rolling heat waves instantly struck, and the scorching high temperature was like an open flame, but Ig felt gentle and warm.
He lowered his head and glanced at the flaming patterns glowing on his wrist. A beautiful and elegant figure passed by him, and the luxurious pure gold flames burned away all the approaching blood light!
“What… this is!”
The Blood Sword Swordsman’s expression changed greatly. The heat burning in the air exceeded his imagination.
In the storm submerged by golden flames, a beautiful fire divine bird flew, flapping its wings also burning with magnificent flames. The terrifying golden blazing flames melted all the solid stones on the ground around her and then ignited them!
“That’s the Flaming Phoenix! Her true form!”
The Blood Archer shouted, pulling back the bowstring and releasing a full-force attack.
The delicate phoenix in the flames merely tilted its slender and elegant neck and chirped, full of disdain and indifference. She waved her wings, and her vibrant, beautiful feathers burned with crimson flames, and the suddenly descending fire swept across like a prairie fire!
The two half-bloods on the ground screamed. They wanted to escape such flames, and blood mist emerged from their bodies in an attempt to flee, but they were instantly vaporized, having no choice but to face the burning flames directly!
Ig struggled to get up from the ground. The surroundings were all bricks and stones melted by the flames, but he was unharmed.
Ig raised his azure blue eyes and looked at the two crystal powerhouses of the half-bloods, both of whom were struggling under the flames. Even the attacks they unleashed with all their might were easily vaporized and burned away by Verafia’s flames!
“Is this also Miss Verafia? Holy Lord above… the Young Lady is actually so strong, completely suppressing the two Crystals?”
Ig couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration.
This was the second time he had seen his Young Lady’s Phoenix true form since he met the Ice Dragon Ophi last month. Moreover, this time it was much closer, allowing Ig to clearly see her beautiful and exquisite form for the first time.
The blazing fire divine bird, with its beautiful feathers and magnificent posture, flew in the sky. The beautiful feathers burning with flames outlined traces, as if playing a beautiful dance in the night sky with a deep black curtain.
With her dance, the ripples caused by the burning golden flames became more terrifying and surging. Under their despairing gazes, they unleashed magnificent, destructive flames!
